Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a nanostructure containing: 50 to 80% (w/w) of a magnetic material; and 20 to 50% (w/w) of calcium silicate. The present disclosure further relates to a nanocomposite containing the nanostructure as disclosed herein with an additive. The present disclosure also provides a gel containing the nanostructure or the nanocomposite and additives, and methods thereof.

Abstract

Approaches for an enclosure adapted for placement around a tooth of a patient are described. In one example, the enclosure comprises an inner profile, an outer profile, a hollow protrusion, and a magnetic source. The inner profile of the enclosure corresponds to an outer surface of the tooth of the patient. The hollow protrusion may be disposed on the outer profile of the enclosure to hold a fluid comprising magnetically controlled nanostructures. In one example, the fluid comprising magnetically controlled nanostructures are placed in the hollow protrusion of the enclosure in such a way that the fluid may be in contact with a specified region of the outer surface of the tooth such that the nanostructures move under the influence of the magnetic field and are able to penetrate the dentinal tubules.
